I stumbled across this article on Tom’s Hardware. The pictures really tell everything. Only thing I’m curious about is if he has the matching boards.
There are some cpu’s in the list I owned 
Microsoft hasn’t released the Small Business Server 7 beta which I am eagerly awaiting. I’m most curious about the new remote workspace.
In other news, turned 25 tuesday and my 2 week leave has started today! Haven’t celebrated my birthday yet with pie. I will do so for sure tomorrow! Hope there will be strawberry pie in the bakery tomorrow.

Well it has been a while since I’ve been able to make a 3D render. Today I decided to take care of that. I ended up with the following result:

Most of my digital video content is being watched on tv using a media center pc I put together a couple of months ago.
The following components were used to create this build:
The system is using Windows XP Media Center as an OS. I picked this Operating system because of the support it has for the Microsoft MCE Remote. Vista and 7 were not of my list because they would bring too much load to the system.
On top of the XP OS XBMC was installed. I put the application in the startup folder so that it would startup immediately after the OS was loaded. Unnecessary services were disabled to start up more quickly. I’m still considering to customize the startup logo of Windows, I also need to disable the startup sound.
I also installed VNC so that I can remotely manage the system without having to have the tv on.
The broadcom chip allows me to watch high definition content without having a high performance GPU.
In a next stage I will link my Amahi shares to the XBMC machine.

Evening, I had the day off today so I had the chance to play around with my 3D model today. I like the result. 
I’ve also set up a home server based on the amahi platform. The whole package looks a whole lot better than the Windows Home Server. It also seems more easy to manage. It streams to my itunes on my mac, to my windows media player and even to my x-box. Like with windows home server everything is managed via a web interface. Extra packages are a breeze to install such as the bittorrent client, ical server and others. The system is based on one of the new intel atom boards. It supports a maximum amount of 4GB in the memory department, and carries the new current gen atom and chipset which uses even less power.
I have also been experimenting with the Windows Server 2008 R8 trial. I’ve managed to set up a virtualized environment for remote desktop services. The construction consists of 4 servers. One is the domain controllers, two others are remote desktop session hosts and the last one is the web access/gateway/broker server. This setup allows me to distribute workloads between the two remote desktop session host servers. More information about Remote Desktop Services can be found here.
I have also found out that it is possible to display remote apps that you’ve created on the Remote Web Workplace of the Small Business Server 2008. It is also possible to do this via the companyweb website. This makes the usage of an extra server (using the premium license) extra interesting for people who are working out of office. I still have to implement these things though in a test environment. I’ll be sure to report back here with the results of the experiment. I really like small business server 2008, I believe it’s one of microsoft’s best products to date.

Well,
the teeth have been removed. Their roots were larger than I expected them to be. Besides the holes which were left in my mouth everything seems to be in order. It was the first time that I was put under a full sedation. It was a very strange feeling.
If there is one thing that I have learned from this it is that I like solid food!
I also had to take the microsoft 70-653 exam today. I passed it without much trouble, it was my first microsoft exam and I was quite excited about it. I really believe in Windows Small Business Server 2008. It’s a product that offers small business’s the best that Redmond has to offer.
I hope I will get the MCP mail soon from Microsoft but I’ve heard that it might take a few days before I recieve it. I’ve always hated waiting.

It would seem that there are a few extra teeth in my mouth. Can you spot them?
Find the extras!

And they say young people can’t cook!
In other news, I greatly enjoyed watching the new Star Trek movie. But there was one part I wasn’t all that fond of: The new enterprise. They did a very good job on making a nice saucer section and nacelles. But the entire engineering hull seemed a bit rushed.
So I decided to see if I can make a better design that also looks more like it could be related to the original wessel.
This is what I’ve got so far:
